Ailsa picked up Haddie's shoe that went whizzing past her head and into the wall as she walked into the dorm room and stared at it for a moment. She wondered...
She tied the laces in a bow and looked over to Rachel and the other girls with a 'shhh' gesture. Then she pulled out her wand. A swish and a flick and a "colloPORtus!" later she reexamined the shoe. It looked the same. She didn't expect it to look any different. She wasn't even really sure if a shoe could be locked. But she wanted to find out. And giving a little bit back to Haddie, if it worked, could be amusing. If it didn't, well, Haddie would never know.
She left the still-tied shoe by the side of Haddie's bed next to its counterpart and turned back to the other girls.
"I have no what will happen, but it'll be fun to find out." Still whispering so as not to wake up Haddie she smiled at Rachel and the other two girls, "I don't think I've met you two properly. I'm Ailsa, Haddie's cousin."
